REBIRTH OF THE REBELLIOUS QUEEN
:20:
Sleep is good, death is better, but of course the best would be to have never been born at all
"Most people are sinners judging other sinners for shining differently
men are more ready to repay injury than a benefit, because gratitude is a burden and revenge is a pleasure
If you kill a cockroach you are a hero, but if you kill a butterfly you are bad. Morality has aesthetic standards

Jungkook adjusted his robes, his face calm but determined as he made his way to the old madam's courtyard. He had long anticipated this confrontation. In his past life, he had been too naive, too trusting, and too blind to the surrounding schemes. But now, with the wisdom of a former queen and the mind of a noble general, he was more than ready to face the women who had once manipulated him into ruin.
The old madam's courtyard was as grand as ever, filled with expensive trinkets and lavish decorations that showed her status in the household. The stepmothers, dressed in their finest silk, sat beside her, their expressions sweet and seemingly innocent. But Jungkook knew better. Behind their soft smiles were the sharp fangs of snakes, ready to strike.
The old madam, her wrinkled face framed by an elaborate headdress, greeted him with a cool smile.

"Ah, Jungkook, dear grandson. What brings you here? It's rare to see you visiting your grandmother."
**Jungkook bowed respectfully, his posture perfect, every movement reflecting the noble etiquette of a seasoned royal.**

Grandmother, I have come to retrieve the gifts I received from winning the imperial examination. They were sent to the family as per custom, but they belong to me."
The air in the room shifted slightly, and the stepmothers exchanged quick glances. The old madam’s smile faltered for a fraction of a second before she let out a small chuckle.

"Ah, those gifts... Well, dear, you are still so young. What would you do with so much wealth? Surely, as your elders, we can manage it for you. You wouldn’t want to make any foolish decisions, would you?"
Jungkook clenched his fists beneath his sleeves, but his expression remained composed. In his previous life, he would have agreed, nodding like a puppet while they pocketed his wealth. But not this time.
He allowed his gaze to soften, taking a step closer to the old madam, his voice trembling slightly as if he were deeply troubled.

"Grandmother... you’re right. I am still young, and I do not know much about managing such wealth. But... I had hoped to use it to honor my late mother’s memory." *He paused for effect, watching their expressions carefully.*
old madam /step grandmother
*The old madam stiffened slightly, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly.* "Your mother?"
kook/jungkook /royal omega
"Yes," Jungkook continued, feigning innocence. "I thought I could use the gold to commission a shrine for her. She passed away without much honor, and I... I wanted to make sure she is remembered properly." His eyes shimmered with fake tears. "But if you think I am too young, Grandmother, I will trust your judgment. I would just hate to disappoint my mother’s spirit."
There was a tense silence in the room as the old madam and the stepmothers tried to assess the situation. They had not expected this approach. If they denied him now, it would be as if they were disrespecting his deceased mother, and they could not afford to damage their reputation like that.
The second stepmother, always the more cunning of the two, spoke up, her voice laced with false sympathy

"Oh, dear Jungkook, you are such a filial son. Of course, we wouldn’t want to stand in the way of your devotion to your mother. Perhaps we can release some of the gifts for this purpose?"
kook/jungkook /royal omega
*Jungkook smiled inwardly. Got you. But outwardly, he let his lips tremble, bowing his head humbly.* "Thank you, Stepmother. You are too kind."
old madam /step grandmother
*The old madam, realizing that she was trapped, forced a smile.* "Very well, Jungkook. You may have the gold and some of the jewels. Use them wisely."
kook/jungkook /royal omega
*Jungkook bowed deeply.* "Thank you, Grandmother. I will remember your generosity." *He turned to leave, but before he reached the door, he paused and looked back.* "Ah, one more thing. I will personally oversee the distribution of these gifts. I trust my servants more than ever now, and I would hate to burden you with such tasks."
old madam /step grandmother
*The old madam's smile froze, but she nodded stiffly.* "Of course, my dear."
As Jungkook left the courtyard, he allowed himself a small, satisfied smile. The game had only just begun, but he had already won this round. He was no longer the naive boy they could manipulate. This time, he would be the one pulling the strings.
